    Re: Help with Moo

    In your Moo BOINC project folder there are 2 executables. 1 is the stream that was my post that you launch with -bench and the other is the GPU program. I don't know if both are need but I think so.

    So, copy those files to ANY directory you can get to from the command prompt and then launch the with stream in the name

    dnetc518-win32-x86-stream.exe -bench


    There shouldn't be ANY quotes in the command line. If the example I gave originally had them in it then it came from copy/pasting something from the Moo website!

    Quotes that bracket the file path are valid and sometimes even necessary. Example: c:\program files\my apps\xyz.exe would need front and back quotes when used on the command line. This is because the command shell, the non-GUI part of windows will interpret the first space it encounters as an end of line. And you get the error message 'c:\program' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. It is a holdover from M$ DOS. Actually some of the original M$-DOS kernel code might still exist in the Win7 kernel.

    Note that no quotes are needed because there are no spaces in any of the folder or file names. But, if you want to use quotes, make sure you have them at both ends. Your example also uses G: as the drive letter which seems strange and has no opening double quote so Windows is looking for G:\Users\All instead of the moo wrapper executable.

    e.g.

    "C:\ProgramData\BOINC\projects\moowrap.net\dnetc51 8-win32-x86-stream.exe" -bench
    If I remember I'll try that after the WCG Challenge is over, I probably did use the " as I just copied & pasted then modified the command to the proper directories. G:\BOINC\projects\moowrap.net\dnetc518-win32-x86-stream.exe" -bench is the actual cmd I used on the Box I was trying it on as G:\ is the Partition\Drive the BOINC Directory is located on, I never install BOINC in the normal place but on a Partition of it's own & with it's own Page File System. By doing that if the OS messes up & I have to reinstall the OS I don't lose the BOINC Wu's that I already have running or Cached ...

    All my OS's are Win XP Pro 64-Bit, that may have something to do with the Command not working either but will try it without the " in the Command when I get around to it ...

    Re: Help with Moo

    Tried it without the " in the Command & Got:

    Microsoft Windows [Version 5.2.3790]
    (C) Copyright 1985-2003 Microsoft Corp.

    D:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>G:\Program Files\BOINC\projects\moowrap.
    net\dnetc518-win32-x86-stream.exe -bench
    'G:\Program' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
    operable program or batch file.

    D:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>

    Re: Help with Moo

    Wait a sec. Is that directory on a remote system, ala mapped drive?

    Also from the command line you need both start and end quote marks of the full file path. So everything except the -bench is included.

    "G:\Program Files\BOINC\projects\moowrap.net\dnetc518-win32-x86-stream.exe" -bench

    But the command must be run from the system you want to benchmark.

    Re: Help with Moo

    You'd use core 0 on that machine and I think that is the default. My machines either benchmark best on either 0 (2 computers) and the other 2 machines like core 3. So I set up a different location for each core setting. Selecting the core (especially if it is 3) makes a tremendous difference in throughput.
